Introduction
Diabetic Retinopathy is a condition where blood vessels start leaking into the eye, causing black spots or streaks in a person’s vision ((Diabetic Retinopathy by the National Eye Institute)). The longer that a person has diabetes, the higher the chances they’ll get diabetic retinopathy ((Diabetic Retinopathy by the National Eye Institute)).
As of 2023, the World Health Organization estimated that 3.9 million people worldwide had diabetic retinopathy ((Blindness and Vision Impairment by the World Health Organization, dated 10 August 2023)).

Design Considerations
The design considerations for low vision and the design considerations for blindness apply to people with diabetic retinopathy.
